Broken Lungs

Woke up to a brand new skyline

We licked our wounds and mourned the dead

Swallowed the story, hook and sinker

Is that what we meant, when we said

That we never would forget?

Are we fools and cowards all

To let them cover up their lies?'

Cause we all watched the buildings fall

And watched the scales fall from our eyes

A fire burns beneath

ManhattanStill we breathe with broken lungs

We act like none of this matters

Is that what we meant, when we said

That we’d sing what must be sung?

Are we fools and cowards all

To let them cover up their lies?'

Cause we all watched the buildings fall

And watched the scales fall from our eyes

We want justice

Scream from the roof

We want justice

We want the truth
